Bonus tip: Try sideloading AdBlock for Edge

You can try installing the AdBlock for Edge extension manually, bypassing the Windows Store, using a method called sideloading.

Note: If you install AdBlock without going through the Windows Store, you will need to turn on AdBlock every time you launch Edge. You will also not get updates automatically. This is a temporary workaround, not a permanent solution.

Get the AdBlock for Edge installation file from http://code.getadblock.com/releases/. Download the most recent file and unzip it. This is the folder you'll use in Step 6 of the instructions below.
